Consciousness as a Manifestation of the Soul of the Universe

Consciousness is traditionally viewed as a by-product of neurophysiological processes. This work proposes an alternative hypothesis: consciousness is not an epiphenomenon of the brain, but a manifestation of a universal spiritual field — the soul of the Universe. The study integrates concepts from quantum physics, information theory, phenomenology, and transpersonal psychology to offer a holistic paradigm of consciousness. We suggest that consciousness is not generated, but remembered; not personal, but shared. Through this lens, mystical experience becomes a form of epistemology, and subjectivity reflects the deeper field of existence.
